Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.25 - $1.00; PSA 9: $10 - $15; PSA 10: $35 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell for under $1 in junk-wax era lots or singles sales on eBay. PSA 10 copies regularly sell between $35 and $50.
Condition Details
The card features white borders with relatively sharp corners. Top and bottom margins show slight off-center alignment (top border is wider than bottom border). Edges are clean without noticeable chipping or whitening.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless attempting for a PSA 10 Gem Mint. Grading costs ($15-$25+) outweigh the value of raw or mid-grade (PSA 8/9) copies due to high print volume from the 1990-91 junk wax era.
Card Description
Features Magic Johnson in his red #32 Western Conference All-Star uniform reaching for a layup/rebound. The top of the card features his name in red italic typography inside a white border. A solid red inner border surrounds the photograph, complete with white stars in the upper corners and lower right corner, alongside the 'NBA HOOPS' logo at the bottom and 'WEST' on the lower right margin. The bottom-left logo features the '1991 NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND CHARLOTTE FEB. 8-10' event emblem.
Notable Features
Features the 1991 NBA All-Star Weekend Charlotte logo; Hall of Famer collectible.
Authentication Notes
Standard mass-produced card from the junk wax era; print quality, card stock, fonts, and colors are consistent with genuine 1990-91 NBA Hoops releases.
